Description

The WedgeLink AT is a user-configurable hardware keyboard wedge that accepts input from any RS-232 device.

With the WedgeLink AT, you can transfer RS-232 data into any PC application that accepts keyboard input. Common applications that are used with the WedgeLink AT include Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and Minitab.

WedgeLink AT also has the ability to pass the gage data through a parsing filter before sending to your PC. It is not uncommon for a serial device to output more than just the measurement (date, time, units, etc.). With the WedgeLink AT parsing function, you can extract just the information you need before sending to the PC.

All features can be configured by an easy-to-use Windows-based setup program. If you have multiple units to configure, you simply create a file and transfer it into each of the units. Firmware (the software within the wedge) can be easily upgraded by users in the field to allow for software enhancements and customization.
